Slam Dunk won already i believe. As for Fighting Spirit.... lol idk. Maybe cause it hasn't aired in a while.
Also, i'll ask again. Why are so many shows in the poll? I thought only 5 nominations would make it.

@X3D2YFaust
I was pleasantly surprised to see One Outs. Thx

Slam Dank/Not nominated: I love this anime. Just too funny.

Watched all the episodes: One Outs, Eyeshield 21, Kuroko no Basket, Prince of Tennis (old and new), Area no Kishi, and Chihayafuru. I watched a few episodes from Major and Cross Game. I might have watched Captain Tsubasa. I think I own a few Japanese comics somewhere. Big Windup - I have never watched it, but I may try a couple of episodes before I cast a vote.

(1) One Outs may not be too popular, but it is my absolute favorite of all time. A big surprise is waiting in manga, but the anime ends right before that happens. If you enjoy mind games, you may enjoy this anime.

(2) Hiruma (quarterback, Eyeshield 21) is not as serious as Tokuchi (pitcher, One Outs), but he reminded me of Tokuch a bit. I must say that there are slow episodes, but Hiruma is so hilarious that I could watch all without a problem. Eyeshield 21 is my 2nd favorite, but it is very close to my 1st.

(3) My 3rd is probably Kuroko. There are still ongoing Kuroko related threats in Japan, but I am glad to hear that they decided to make the 2nd season. I can't wait.

Luv Prince of Tennis and Chihayafuru as well. Most of the Prince of Tennis characters don't look like middle-high schoolers, but that's ok. Chihayafuru somehow makes me want to see Hikaru no Go again. Area no Kishiwas just ok. was good. I liked funny Araki character and Coach Iwaki's voice (same as Urahara in BLEACH).

I will vote after watching Big Windup.

VOTING RESULT

Welcome to the result of MangaHelpers Anime Awards 2012, category Best Sports! Thank you for everyone who has supported this awards by giving your vote in the poll. Aren't you curious to see which anime won the category as the best sports anime in 2012? Wait no further, with just one click away, you can see the winner... And it is...

Welcome to the Gridiron of the Damned! Huge hulking bodies throw themselves at each other, while a tiny lithe body runs between them for the goal! No, it’s not a game of football, it’s Sena Kobayakawa trying to evade the monstrous Ha-Ha brothers down the halls of Deimon High School! But wait! Sena’s incredible skills at not getting caught have been spotted by the devilish (possibly actually demonic) captain of the school’s embryonic American style football team, and when Sena asks to be the teams manager, he gets thrust onto the field as a running back instead! But there are two BIG catches: first, to keep the identity of their new “star” player an absolute secret, Yoichi makes Sena wear an opaque visor on his helmet and gives him the alias of “Eyeshield 21.” And the second catch? Well, in order to hit his fastest “speed of light” running mode, Sena usually has to be absolutely terrified. Not that THAT will be a problem with the monstrous players that he’ll soon find himself running from! The insanity hits the streets when the feet meet the cleats in EYESHIELD 21!

We hope you enjoyed the awards and find new, awesome anime titles for you to check out.
Visit us again at the next Anime Awards, and have a good day!
